Actually, I know mikehuan in person, and mike is very cautious and leaves his ego at the gym door. Maybe he wasn't really aware of optimal training/poundage and rep progression with dumbbells.
lol... not particularly hitting on him bro. i am actually trying to say myself. lol... over pushing urself too much is not a good thing. lol... but oh well, i am back now, going really slow. lol... slow but steady.

lol yes im a scaredy cat and im not afraid to admit it! the moment something hurts i tend to drop the set lol. i've been training with the current rep ranges for a while now and didnt really think it would be any different with db's..
hahaha... db and barbell is totally diff. lol... good luck bro... make more prs.
Video's up! Dunno what happened to the sound, but that's not important.
Use a clean grip buddy. It'll help you keep the torso in a more upright position. Your second rep was better than the first. You started the movement in the hip and right after, broke at knee so your descend was much smoother. Try looking about 45 degrees above your straight line of sight. Find for something to fix your eyes on. That enables you to keep your spine straighter and engages more of your trap and rhomboid muscles that keeps you from rounding the upper back.

Thanks very much for that. Got it, clean grip and look up slightly. I'll have to work on some wrist flexibility now. Cheers, man.

Will take your advise for clean grip But dint do any clean exrcise before and I stretch my wrist evryday cause they injured before Poundage will definately drop when I switch to clean grip right? And look up the mirror?

They may drop for 3-4 squats sessions, but after that they should be back to normal and higher. It's about activating more of your upper back and mid back muscles to maintain the vertical torso position that's executed during the front squat. Activation of more muscle = Good. There are actually many many more intricacies like neck position, chin position, shoulder (elevated or rested), movement break sequence, visualization, elbow position at lowest point, blablabla. But if you're not squatting a 1RM-2RM, you probably don't have to bother TOO much about all such details.
Hit the wall mid Dec and never really recovered. Could lower the bar but couldn't generate enough strength to get out of the hole. *Writes name in the fail book*

front squat rocket science. whats your advice on how to start front squatting if there are no available squat racks? if tried smith backsquats, its not bad but totally different than barbell squats so im looking for a better alternative

Chill la bro! the important thing is you tried, thats all that matters. that was the purpose of the thread anyways, to motivate people to break PR's.
You are cutting. What do.you expect? Strength increase?
drop quite drastically, of course not expecting increase, but man, the poundages are going down . Am not too concerned about it, I am more concerned about getting lean.

Heh. Once you find sweet spot, you can cut and gain muscle together. Not my diet of course.
